this video sponsored by Intel what's going on guys trap which consume right and I am back in one of my favorite places Micro Center and if you guys have never heard of Micro Center they sell a ton of cool tech inside of here but I have a mission today I'm looking for an HP omen and I'm gonna go see if I can go find one all right guys this is the HP omen now this guy right here is a gaming laptop I'm not gonna lie this thing looks it looks pretty solid I like the way this thing looks so I'm excited to pick this up but they have a ton of other Intel based products here I think as low as 629 bucks so if you guys are interested in finding out what cool devices that they've got of course have links down below in the description but this is what I'm here for so let's go pick it up so my crescendo was cool always a good time over there but what we have right here guys is the HP omen this is the 15 inch version I gotta say guys after spending a few days with it this is actually a really impressive laptop for the price it's a pretty good-looking laptop definitely designed for gamers you can see the aesthetics here are definitely gamer oriented that black and red the sharp edges all that carbon fiber look so you can clearly see who they made this thing for one thing about those sharp edges though it does take a little getting used to handling this thing because these edges they actually are pretty sharp not enough to hurt you or anything like that it's definitely not that sharp but when you pick it up you might be surprised these parts are actually pretty pointy but overall I do like to design those bezels check this out so it's a 15 inch 1080p display IPS and the bezels are nice and thin looks really good now in terms of ports on the right side we've got one USB 3.1 port and on the left side we've got another USB 3.1 port as well as a headphone jack and microphone jack and a built-in SD card reader so pretty standard stuff but you've also got IO in the back so in the back we've got an Ethernet port another USB 3.1 HDMI mini display and a Thunderbolt 3 port which is actually really surprising to see on a laptop in this price range so this is like a mid to your gaming laptop and usually laptops around this price you don't find Thunderbolt 3 ports so I was very surprised and happy to see that here Thunderbolt 3 is the truth now as laptop cost $10.99 million plus tax and that's actually a really good price for the spec that you get with it so we're rocking an eighth generation Intel Core i7 processor 16 gigs of ram you get a 256 SSD with a one terabyte hard drive inside of here and in this price range I'm actually surprised to see an eighth generation Intel Core i7 in here that's a very good processor and in a laptop that's only a little bit more than a thousand bucks and you also get an nvidia gtx 1060 graphics card so if you want to do some gaming you're definitely gonna be able to do that here now I've actually gained a lot with the 1060 on my laptops and you're definitely not gonna be able to max out settings but you are gonna be able to play with high in the settings for the game still looks visually pleasing and you still get really good performance my boy Malcolm used it to play some overwatch and he had to bring down the settings just a little bit but he still said it looked really good yes he's using the controller because this guy plays on the ps4 but the overall experience he said he really enjoyed it still now I'm not gonna lie I don't play that many first-person shooters or even anything online so all the games that I played like titanfall 2 tales of zestiria pretty much play offline so my experience has been smooth always so I'm very very happy with this and the 1080p IPS display looks really good even for just watching content so I definitely like the package that you get out of these and they have banging olsen speakers and they're kind of located right here so that's also a very very nice bonus but another thing that I want to point out is this trackpad the trackpad is ok one thing I really can't stand though is that you can't click into it you do have to use the buttons or do a double tap or a light tap or something it's not a big deal I guess I'm just kind of used to those trackpads that you can kind of click in I do wish that this did that overall for the performance of the mouse is fine I just wish that it had a clickable trackpad and something you might have noticed that this thing has a backlit keyboard so you can go ahead and change the colors of this this is actually an RGB keyboard the keyboard is lit in different zones so you can't individually change keys to match a certain color but I do think that it still works pretty well and I have it on red because obviously it's the whole theme as far as the typing experience goes it's actually really comfortable to type on these keys have a decent amount of travel so it definitely feels good nice and quiet and what's nice is that even though this is a 15-inch laptop you also get a full number pad right here on the side and the overall fit of this keyboard and layout honestly I just love it one thing though guys take a look at this in just me handling it I clean this thing off before we actually started shooting and then just me handling it to talk to you guys about it look at all the fingerprints so that is something you are definitely gonna have to get used to I always keep a microfiber cloth on deck so I'm not always worried about that but you will have to clean this guy up if you really care about fingerprints and that kind of stuff so it's something to keep in mind one thing that's actually really nice about this laptop is that it is user upgradeable so that you can open this thing up they've got little Phillips screws all around very easy to take this thing off and take a look at what's inside one thing I will say these fans are massive and they do make a good bit of noise even when you aren't doing too much on the computer you do hear them kick up which I'm not too crazy about but for the most part you kind of get used to it but the fans I get pretty loud but overall guys I really did enjoy using this laptop especially for the price I think this is a really good value you get some really great specs honestly this laptop is probably gonna be the first thing I recommend for someone who's looking for a mid tier gaming laptop back in multitask has a good display has a good body this is probably going to be that one that I say Oh HP omen 15 so this is a really really good laptop very surprised great value but if you guys want to check this thing out I'll of course have it linked down below in the description I'll have a link to micro Center where they've got really really good deals going on with this and a bunch of other Intel products this is definitely something you're gonna want to look out for if you want a gaming laptop for Christmas or something but that about wraps up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guard girl I give this video a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer peace
